When we last left our crack fic.....
Amelia stared at Rory, then at Eleven, then Handy (her gaze lingered slightly longer on him). Then her brow furrowed in confusion. "Wait...why are you all so tall?" Then she looked down at herself and shrieked. "I'm a little girl! I'm...I'm 10 again!" She stormed over and attempted to get in Eleven's face, but seemed to suddenly realize that now, she only reached to mid-chest level. She settled for poking him hard in the stomach. "WHY AM I 10 AGAIN, DOCTOR?"
"I don't know."
"I did it," Little Donna explained. "I spent my entire life around grown ups. Daddy with his stupid space junk. Mommy with her drugs. I want a friend my own age."
Rory, the two Doctors, and Amelia looked at Donna. This girl had more power than they we comfortable with.
"Let's go find the playground." Donna demanded.
"No, we need to stay in the TARDIS and get Amy sorted out." Rory said.
"Are you new or something? The playground is the best part of this old box."
"Okay, okay let's not argue." The Doctor said, trying his best to defuse the situation," Handy you take Donna to the playground, it's improved a lot since the revamp, the swings especially." As the two of them walked away, the Doctor turned his attention back to Amy and Rory. "Ah, gosh this has all become rather complicated hasn't it? I think the first thing to determine is if you're sure you wouldn't want to stay how you are." He addressed Amy, "I mean, is it not a desired featured to appear younger than one's actual age?"
"Why the HELL," Amy glowered, "are you talking like bloody Spock? Nobody grown-up wants to look like they're in grade school. Maybe you want to look younger than you are if you're 900 and whatever-" (Handy snorted at this) "-but I'm only 21! Figure out some way to change me back!" She suddenly looked sad, and Eleven could only think of this same little girl sitting forlornly on her small suitcase in her garden. "Please?"
He kneeled down, looking little Amelia in the eyes. "I'll do my best. I promise."
"Really?" The words 'five minutes' were written plainly across he face.
He grasped her little hands. "Amy, trust me. I'm not going to abandon you."
Perhaps it wasn't the best time for Handy to cut in with a signature "Weeeellllllll...."
"Don't start."
"Susan. Steven. Jamie. Zoe. Sarah Jane-"
"Stop it."
"Peri. Ace didn't really want me to leave her either. Jack. Rose."
"I said stop it!"
"Rose again. Me. Donna." There was a long pause. "I think that was all of them."
"I was a different man back-then," he said, barely suppressing his guilt as he coolly regarded the pinstriped man. "Clearly."
"We were always different men. That never stopped us."
The Doctor was about to respond with a sharp reply, but was stopped. "Oi! You're both being stupid." Little Donna stomped over, grabbing her 'father' by the hand. "And I still want to go to the park."
She gave Amy a look that said 'can you believe these two?', but the Scottish girl just looked worried.
"Doctor, you will be able to change me back, won't you?"
"Yes of course, I just need to...decide how. No need to worry yourself, I'm sure it'll only be a moment."
"You'll be fine." Handy interjected, as he pulled something from his pocket, "here, have an apple."
Eleven grabbed the fruit and scolded Handy. "Fruit has given me quite enough trouble today." He walked to the door and threw the apple like a grenade. "Now, what do we have going on here? Amy is a child. The former half me, half human is on the Tardis for some reason with his daugher, who he had with a companion and just happens to be the a child version of another companion. What am I missing? How are these things linked?
"It's simple. I can't believe how slow I become: Children. It's all to do with the children."

"Yes, yes all right, I know. I'm thinking."

"There, there." Said yet another new voice, as a man in a very long scarf patted her once or twice on the head before pulling a paper bag out of his pocket in offering. "Would you like a jelly baby?"

"A common problem. Try a red one instead."

"All right," Handy said, after several moments of silence. "What are you looking for?"

"Well now," Four said, "perhaps I can be of some assistance there."

"The Time-Lords?" asked Handy and Eleven in unison.
Rory looked confused. "Who?"
"Our species. Pompous lot if I ever knew one," explained Four, turning to his future selves. "My, you two look pale."

Four looked dumbstruck. Everyone was silent for several minutes. Then Four walked over to the screen mounted above the console. He turned a few knobs, then tapped the screen. "Yes, yes...I rather thought so. Look where we are. When we are." Eleven walked over. Handy, unable to resist his curiosity, came over as well. Both looked at the screen and at the same time burst out, "That's impossible!"

Eleven glared at him for saying too much, but he waved his future self's warnings away. "He'll forget about all of this, you know that. We always do. "

"You'd need the Great Key of Rassilon," Eleven said quietly.
"And a modified De-mat Gun," Handy muttered, smoothing out his daughter's hair.
"And you'd need to keep running forever to keep the memories from catching up-"
"-because you'll never be able to sleep again-"
"-without dreaming of them." There was a long moment of silence. Eleven smiled suddenly, his voice almost chipper. "Or at least that's what I've heard! So! How do we get out?"

Everyone turned to stare at her. "Well, its always Earth, isn't it? If something going to go kablewey, that's usually why."
"Very good," Four said approvingly.
"Especially for a such a little girl," agreed Amy. Rory couldn't help it; he laughed. His wife, using all the restraint of a ten-year-old-girl, kicked him in the shins.
Eleven, who realised that it was probably going to have to be his job to be the responsible one, went to Donna. "So what's Earth got to do with this whole Time-Lock buisness, then?"

Something pounded hard on the front door of the Tardis. "Open up!" a voice bellowed. "By the order of the Lord President Rassilon I order you to surrender to justice! You are surrounded!"
George · 745 weeks ago
"Looks like we're going to have to go and say hello, they're not going to let us leave any time soon."
"But we can't all go," Handy interjected, "they're not going to look kindly on you bringing along your past self after all."
"I'm not staying in here while all the fun goes on out there." Four argued.

"How about Amy and me go?"
"Amy and I," Ten corrected his daughter. "And no, absolutely not. I can't let two little girlllll-" he broke off when he saw Amelia's look, "you two girls go all alone."
"No, I think its a good idea- we're kids, they won't hurt us. We can pretend Donna just nicked the TARDIS, or something."
Everyone looked hesitant. "If Rassilon is in charge, that's doubtful, I'm afraid."
There was more heavy banging at the TARDIS doors, and some very demanding shouts. Rory shot his 'do something' look at Eleven. "Okay, okay, fine," said the man in the bow-tie. "I'll take Amy and Donna- everyone else- yes, that includes both of me- stay in the TARDIS. I don't want them knowing how warped the time-line has gotten."
Everyone looked set to argue, but Eleven grabbed the girls by the hand, waving at his companions to hide; and then the three of them marched to the door, and onto the surface of Gallifrey.

Sorry this is so late. I woke up plagued.
